Caught 500 miles east of Leo poldville by Congolese army com mander Col. Joseph Mobutu s troops, he has been brought back to face trial on charges of inert inp the army to mutiny during the chaotic days after Indepen dence. Western diplomats said they had definite information that the Soviet bloc and several Asianaf- riean nations were planning to recognize a Lumumba administra tion in Stanleyville as the Congo's rightful government had he got away out of reach of Mobutu s troops. Soviet Support Sean The diplomats think civil war would have followed, with many of the troops in Stanleyville sup porting Lumumba and the Soviet llninn sunnlvini' them through Kgypt and the Sudan, which bor ders the Congo on the north. The provincial governments of Kasai, Oriental and Leopoldville provinces probably would have backed Lumumba.

Bus Terminals Must Serve Negroes Says High Court WASHINGTON (AP)-The Su preme Court today decided res taurants in interstate bus termi nals must serve Negroes making journeys across state lines. Justice Black delivered the 7 2 decision. Justice Whittaker wrote a dissenting opinion in which Jus tice Clark joined. The tribunal ruled on an appeal by Bruce Boynlon, a Negro who was fined $10 for refusing to leave a "white" restaurant in me Iran- ways Bus Terminal in Rich mond, Va. Boynton, then a law student at Howard University in Washington, D.C., was en route to his home in Selma, Ala., for the 1958 Christ mas holiday. Boynton was fined in Police Court, under a Virginia law mak ing it a misdemeanor to refuse to leave premises on demana ot per sons in charee. The law has a maximum penalty of $100 and 30 days in jail. Boynton's bus stopped at the terminal for a 40-minute layover during the late evening. The terminal, as do many de pots and stations in the South, had a restaurant for "colored" and one for "white." Boynton said the restaurant for Negroes was crowded, so ne en tered the "white" restaurant. A waitress told him she had orders not to serve Negroes , there and asked him to use the other res taurant. Boynton refused to leave on de mand of an assistant manager who then called police. In annealing to the Supreme Court, Boynton contended his ar rest violated the due process and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution. He also argued the arrest was invalid as a bur den on interstate commerce. Walter E. Rogers, special as sistant attorney general of Vir ginia, argued before the high tri bunal that the "white" restaurant was privately owned and oper ated, and had no affiliation with the bus company, the restaurant operated under a lease.

Justice Black's majority opin ion said the question to be de cided was whether an interstate bus passenger is denied a federal statutory or constitutional right when a restaurant in a bus ter-l minal used by the carrier along its route discriminates in serving food because of the color of the passengers. Under the circumstances of this case. Black said, Boynton had a federal right to remain in the 'white" restaurant. In his dissenting opinion, Justice Whittaker said there was no evi dence in the record before the high court even tending to show that the Richmond restaurant was operated or controlled by any car rier, directly or indirectly. "Instead, all of the relevant evi dence, none of which was contra dicted, shows that the restaurant was owned and controlled by a noncarrier who alone operated it as a local and private enterprise," Whittaker wrote. If there had been a showing that the restaurant was operated or controlled by one or more mo tor carriers, Whittaker said, he would agree that Boynton had a legal right to remain and insist on service by the restaurant.

That was the consen sus of 60 educators and commun ity leaders who wound up a four day education conference Sunday.

All sources, pri vate and public, must he drawn upon," said a renort drawn up by the group at the Pacific North west Assembly. "The hazards of greater federal participation are not comparable to the dangers we will face if the national government, in com pany with all other agencies, were not to extend its efforts.
